Jabsco Handy Boy Utility Pump

The Jabsco Handy Boy Utility Pump is a polished brass multi-purpose hand pump designed to solve one of the most frustrating challenges in marine maintenance: accessing hard-to-reach drain plugs and filler caps on engines and gearboxes. Built from oil and corrosion-resistant brass and neoprene, this pump delivers up to 1.5 GPM output, making it equally effective for draining, filling, or topping off fluid levels across your vessel's systems.

The pump's 9 x 2 x 16-inch form factor and lightweight 1.8-pound construction make it easy to stow aboard and maneuver in tight engine compartments. The brass construction provides proven durability in salt air and marine environments, resisting both oxidation and fluid degradation that can compromise rubber or plastic alternatives. The 1.5 GPM flow rate is calibrated for marine fluids—viscous enough to handle both light hydraulic oil and heavier gearbox lubricants without requiring excessive pump strokes.

This pump addresses a practical problem every boat owner encounters: OEM drain and fill points are often recessed, cramped, or positioned where standard funnels and containers won't fit. Whether you're performing seasonal oil changes on your main engine, topping up transmission fluid before a long offshore run, or maintaining auxiliary systems, the Handy Boy eliminates spills and allows precision fluid transfer without disassembly. The versatility extends beyond engine maintenance—users find applications throughout their vessel's plumbing, fuel systems, and maintenance routines where controlled fluid transfer is needed.

Jabsco's reputation in marine fluid handling systems means this pump meets the same durability expectations as their larger, permanently installed equipment. For weekend fishermen managing basic maintenance and serious offshore operators running regular service schedules, the Handy Boy is a foundational tool that pays for itself in convenience and leak prevention on the first oil change.
